The Collectivist Socialists of Taronix is a massive, genial nation, ruled by President Hathte with an even hand, and remarkable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate population of 2.356 billion have some civil rights, but not too many, enjoy the freedom to spend their money however they like, to a point, and take part in free and open elections, although not too often.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Law & Order, and the Environment. It meets every day to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Sovha. The average income tax rate is 58%, and even higher for the wealthy. The private sector is almost wholly made up of enterprising ten-year-olds selling lemonade on the sidewalk, although the government is looking at stamping this out.

Major cities shut down as their local sports team takes to the field every day, drunk drivers are sent to rehabilitation paid for by the government, refugees from other nations are flocking to Taronix's border, and terrified tympanists are finding themselves on the front lines armed only with kettledrums. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Taronix's national animal is the Scinos, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, its national religion is The Cult Of The Tomato, and its currency is the Iter.

Taronix is ranked 45th in Unknown and 57,726th in the world for Largest Welfare Programs, scoring 20 on the Safety Net Mesh Density Rating.
